Job description

Overview

If you're a Purchase Ledger Clerk, you already know the drill: processing invoices, payment runs, reconciliations. But you may be at a point where you’d prefer to do all of that in a role where your efforts genuinely matter.

Here’s why this job could be different:

This isn’t just another Accounts Payable role. It’s a chance to join a growing company that values the finance function (and the people in it). You’ll be working within a supportive team, where your accuracy and organisation will be noticed and appreciated. This is an office-based role, so you’ll be part of the team day-to-day, not dialling in from the spare room.

Responsibilities

• Processing supplier invoices accurately and promptly, coded correctly, authorised swiftly.
• Running regular payment cycles efficiently and maintaining good supplier relationships.
• Reconciling supplier statements every month and resolving any issues calmly.
• Resolving supplier queries clearly, professionally, and without fuss.
• Keeping detailed records, making audits smooth and straightforward.
• Staying compliant with all company policies and accounting standards.

Who you are

You're already comfortable with Accounts Payable processes. You value accuracy, you're naturally organised, and clear communication comes easily to you. If you’ve worked with Sage 50, that’s a bonus, but the right attitude is what really counts.

What’s in it for you

• Real opportunities for progression – they prefer promoting internally.
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Flexible working hours to suit your life outside of work.

If you want a role where you're not just another number, apply now.
